The Chord Hugo M Scaler is an advanced standalone digital upscaler incorporating cutting-edge technology from our flagship BLU MKII transport. Consequently, it houses the world’s most advanced digital filter, completely redefining the quality of digital audio sound for discerning audiophiles seeking perfection.
This device brings the remarkable benefits of our groundbreaking FPGA-based WTA (Watts Transient Alignment) filtering technology to your digitally connected audio sources. Furthermore, this engineering results in a significant enhancement in sound quality, uncovering hidden acoustic details within your favourite recordings.
While it operates with other DACs featuring suitable inputs, it is optimally designed for select dual-BNC models like the Chord Hugo TT2. Moreover, this pairing unlocks the maximum 768kHz upscaling advantage, guaranteeing breathtaking realism and an incredibly immersive listening experience.
Experience the pinnacle of high-resolution audio processing. MGY OU is the official distributor of Chord Electronics in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Order your exceptional device today, elevate your home audio system, and rediscover your entire digital music collection with lifelike clarity!
The Chord Electronics Hugo M Scaler is a revolutionary standalone digital upscaling device designed to redefine digital audio playback. It is not a DAC itself; rather, it is placed between your digital source (such as a streamer or PC) and your DAC. Utilizing an incredibly powerful Xilinx XC7A200T FPGA, it features Rob Watts’ proprietary WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) filtering technology with a staggering 1,015,808-tap length. This massive processing power allows the M Scaler to upscale standard 44.1kHz CD-quality audio up to 705.6kHz (16x CD resolution), or 48kHz audio up to 768kHz, effectively recreating the original analog waveform with unprecedented transient accuracy and timing precision.
To unleash its maximum 768kHz potential, it is designed to be paired with Chord Electronics DACs (such as the Qutest, Hugo TT2, or DAVE) using a dedicated Dual-BNC connection. However, it can also significantly upgrade the performance of third-party DACs by upscaling signals to their maximum supported resolution via its single BNC or optical outputs. Housed in a TT-series chassis, the M Scaler features adjustable output frequencies and a dedicated “Video Mode” to eliminate audio-visual latency when watching movies or gaming.

The Hugo M Scaler is an exceptionally advanced standalone upscaling device with the ability to completely transform the audio quality of digital sound. It utilizes the unique filter technology developed by our Digital Design Consultant, Rob Watts, which is regarded as the most advanced in the world. This technology can upscale standard 44.1kHz digital audio all the way up to 705.6kHz (16 times the native resolution of a CD’s 44.1kHz), making it ready to be sent to a compatible DAC. Additionally, when used with our dual-BNC-input DACs – Qutest, Hugo 2, Hugo TT 2, and DAVE – the Hugo M Scaler can extend its upscaling capability to 768kHz from 96kHz input data.
In terms of design, the Hugo M Scaler’s compact form factor complements the TT (Table Top) series and is designed to be stackable with other units in the range, such as the TToby stereo power amp and the Hugo TT 2. This configuration creates a highly advanced yet space-efficient audio system. Similar to other models in the Hugo and Hugo TT series, the device features illuminable spherical controls on the front panel, which allow for input selection, output sample rate adjustment, and video mode for reduced latency. These control spheres provide visual feedback, displaying information such as the input source and incoming sample rate through a colorful scale.
When combined with either of Chord Electronics’ dual-BNC-input DACs capable of 768kHz, the Hugo M Scaler sets an astounding technical benchmark for digital audio performance in its price range, completely redefining the sound quality achievable with digital audio.
